Noble Savage (he said): I’m very wary of the whole “gourmet burger” thing that’s been going on for a while now. The main issue is the size. In my humble opinion, a burger should be able to fit into one’s hands. (So, only sliders for the Donald.) Grabbing a burger …

Noble Savage (he said): Okay, let me just apologise for the cellphone pics, normally I do have my ‘proper’ camera with me. But, no use crying over spilled… beer. First off, we were invited to attend Beerhouse Centurion’s media launch, and the beer-and-food-pairing was on them. Also, the beers on …

#ThrowbackThursday Boozy Foodie (she said): Seeing that Mosaic at the Orient is officially making waves being the only non-Western Cape restaurant making the Eat Out Magazine’s Top 10 list, I thought it would be good to share why I thought they really deserve this honour. And, I may be a …

Noble Savage (he said): Round three – off to De Kloof, situated at Waterkloof Golf Estate (again fitting in with the golfist crowd…) in The Capital.

Noble Savage – he said: We’ve been wanting to check out Carbon Bistro in Brooklyn, Pretoria for some time now. We’ve heard of their impressive craft gin selection, and decided that maybe it’s worth popping in for lunch. Also, it was fucking hot on the day, and what can be …

Boozy Foodie – she said: And there we go – off the the Mall of Africa again! I must admit, we stayed away for a few months after the official opening, haunted by the images of 1000’s of eager shoppers scrambling to get that R99 discount on a big screen TV …

Noble Savage – he said: I’m not much of a bar fly. I used to, back in the old days, frequent Die Mystic Boer. But that was a long time ago. So every now-and-then, we would try and find a laid back bar-ish type place to have a drink and …

Noble Savage – he said: A week ago we went to Lima, a tapas restaurant at Monte Casino. Honestly, they can’t really be considered a tapas joint; the portions are just too intricate to align to the casual nature of what tapas is supposed to be. So with a (real) …
